Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 45 Senior Sister
Liu Ji followed Li Fan depressedly, looking at him with a bit of resentment in her eyes.

There were clanging sounds coming from the front. It was a blacksmith shop. The door of the shop was wide open and sparks were flying inside. The man working the iron was also shirtless. He was the blacksmith in the village.

"Uncle Yang." Li Fan called out.

"Xiao Fan, why did you go out for a few days and bring a woman back? Aren't you afraid that your senior sister will beat you up?" The blacksmith looked at Liu Ji and said.

"Senior Sister knows." Li Fan said.

"I'm glad to know. Go and see your senior sister soon." The blacksmith continued forging iron.

Li Fan continued to move forward. Liu Ji did not talk back this time and learned her lesson.

In front of us, there is a huge ancient tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. The trunk of this ancient book tree is so thick that it can be hugged by ten people. There is a huge tree hole in the tree, and there is actually a house inside.

Outside the house, two people were enjoying the coolness under a big tree.

"Hello, Aunt Wang, hello, Grandpa Huai." Li Fan shouted.

"Xiao Fan is back. I haven't seen you for a few days. You look much more handsome now." Aunt Wang looked at Li Fan and said, "I see that you are not young anymore. I will introduce you to a marriage partner. What do you think of my Xiao Qi? She has been practicing in the mountains and is very successful now."

"Your Xiaoqi is only less than fifteen years old, is she in such a hurry to get married?"

An old man was leaning against the tree house, smoking a pipe.

"You're not young anymore, you can have a baby." Aunt Wang looked at Li Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, you and Xiao Qi grew up together, childhood sweethearts, what do you think?"

"I have to ask my senior sister." Li Fan made an excuse.

"As long as you agree, your senior sister will definitely listen to you." Aunt Wang grinned.

"Why don't you open your eyes and see, is there anyone else who can give birth to your Xiaoqi?" The old man looked at Liu Ji next to him, squinted his eyes, and smiled at Li Fan: "Xiaofan has good taste, you can tell at a glance that she is fertile."

"Xiaofan, don't learn bad things outside." Aunt Wang looked at Liu Ji and said.

"Men always have to grow up, which is good in my opinion." Uncle Huai has a head of gray hair and several of his teeth have fallen out.

"Grandpa Huai, why are your hair all white?" Li Fan asked the old man. He remembered that when he was a child, half of the old man's hair was still black.

"Ahem...what do you think?" The old man coughed a few times and glared at Li Fan.

I'm thinking to myself, after being exploited by you for more than ten years, how could my hair not turn white?
Li Fan smiled innocently and looked up at the tree. It was already bare with only a few fruits left.

Liu Ji also looked up at the fruits. They were bright red in color and there was actually spiritual fluctuations. She felt a little restless inside and licked her lips.

"Xiaofan is so lucky." Grandpa Huai said to Liu Ji.

Liu Ji looked at the old man and said with a smile: "The old man has almost no teeth, but his mouth is quite impressive."

This old guy has one foot almost buried in the ground. He can’t be as good at fighting as that butcher, right?

"The old man is not only good at talking." Grandpa Huai exhaled a puff of smoke, and suddenly the branches above Liu Ji's head suddenly grew larger. Her expression changed drastically, and she wanted to retreat, but found that the branches instantly wrapped around her body tightly. She struggled hard, but the branches wrapped around her became tighter and tighter, hanging her up.

"Tree spirit...you are a demon." Liu Ji looked at the old man.

"Aren't you the same?" the old man shot back.

Li Fan looked at Liu Ji somewhat innocently. Why didn’t she learn her lesson?
"Grandpa Huai..." Just as Li Fan was about to say something, the branches quickly retreated, and Liu Ji fell to the ground. The old man exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Xiao Fan, I'm just joking with her, you won't mind, right?"

"I don't mind." Li Fan said, "Grandpa Huai, I'm going to see Senior Sister."

"Go quickly." the old man urged.

Li Fan continued to move forward, and Liu Ji followed him with a wronged look on his face.

"You old fool, you are ruining my good deeds." Aunt Wang glared at Grandpa Huai.

"You looked down on me when I was little, but why are you forcing me to move up now?" the old man said with contempt.

"You're talking nonsense. I can tell from the first glance that this kid has great potential."

"Hehe, you are attracted to Miss Ye, right?"

"Miss Ye is so good to Xiaofan." Aunt Wang did not deny it.

"That's right, I brought him up, how can it be bad?"

"Do you remember when Xiaofan first came to the village? He was ill at that time and was not well received."

"How can you not remember? Everyone says Xiaofan will become a demon when he grows up. What's wrong with being a demon?"

"I still remember it snowed heavily that morning."

"Yes, that day, it was snowing and windy. Early in the morning, Miss Ye took the boy by the hand and knocked on doors every house in the whole village."

The old man fell into memories and still remembers that morning more than ten years ago.

A beautiful woman knocked on the tree hole, bowed to him with a pleading smile, and asked him to take good care of the young man.

The fairy-like figure bowed her head and begged them to take care of the young man, and went from house to house to ask for help.

How could they not agree?

Since then, the boy has lived in the village.

"Yes, that's Miss Ye. It is said that she not only knocked on the door of the village, but also went up the mountain to kill people."

From then on, no one left the mountain and talked bad about the boy, saying that he would turn into a monster when he grew up.

"Poor old man, I have been plucked bald by that kid since then."

"You are not willing to do it."

"That's Miss Ye!"

"Yes, that's Miss Ye. Miss Ye is so kind to Xiaofan."

"This senior sister is closer to me than my own sister."

Li Fan and Liu Ji continued walking on horseback, meeting many acquaintances along the way.

The sound of reading came from the front. Li Fan looked over there and saw a group of children sitting together on the ground. Among them, there was a young man sitting there.

The young man looked like a scholar, well-mannered, and not far from him, there was a buffalo drinking water. "Brother Xiaofan is back." A child saw Li Fan and shouted, and immediately the other children looked over here, stood up and ran towards Li Fan.

"Brother Xiaofan, what is it like outside? Is it fun?" A young man asked Li Fan with curiosity in his eyes.

"Brother Xiaofan, who is this beautiful sister? You've only been away for a few days, and you've already married? Can you bring me a wife as beautiful as this one?"

"You guys, who told you to run around?" The young man also stood up and walked over here, looking at Li Fan and said, "Junior brother, you're back."

"Second Brother." Li Fan called out to the young scholar. He kept looking at the scholar with curiosity, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

"Junior brother, what are you looking at me doing?" the scholar asked.

"nothing."

Li Fan shook his head and said that his second senior brother usually taught the children in the village how to read, write and how to be a good person. Li Fan had never seen him practice.

The second senior brother said that he didn't know much about cultivation and could only read some dead books. He often asked him to read. Li Fan read quite a lot and learned some principles from the books.

But after Li Fan went out, he began to wonder if his second senior brother really didn’t understand cultivation?

"Okay, sit back down and continue reading." The scholar said to the teenagers, and the teenagers reluctantly sat back on the ground and continued reading.

"Junior brother, go and see senior sister." said the scholar.

"Okay." Li Fan nodded and continued walking forward. When he passed by the buffalo, he saw that the big buffalo was staring at him.

Li Fan stopped and looked at the buffalo. A strange idea suddenly emerged in his mind.

This buffalo was raised by the second eldest brother. It seems to have not changed since he was a child?

The man and the cow stared at each other.

"Brother Buffalo, you are not a monster, are you?" Li Fan asked in a low voice. If you were a monster, he should be able to see it. Could it be that you are a great monster whose realm is too deep?

The buffalo glared at Li Fan, turned and walked away, its tail wagging.

"What does that mean?" Li Fan wondered.

He led the horse and continued forward, following the village road all the way to the end. There were mountains connected in front of him. Li Fan mounted his horse again, galloping along the mountain road, eager to return home.

Liu Ji followed behind him, curious, why was he so anxious again?

Could it be because of his senior sister?

The mountain is very large, with undulating hills and many ancient peaks.

Li Fan walked up along an ancient peak outside the mountain and reached the top of the mountain.

There are lush ancient trees here, like a paradise on earth. There are a few houses on the edge of a cliff, which are simple and quiet.

Li Fan dismounted and walked towards the back of the house, and Liu Ji followed him.

When you come to the back of the house, there is a cliff in front and you can see the sea of ​​clouds, which is like a fairyland.

There is an old tree on the edge of the cliff. On a huge rock under the old tree, a woman is sitting there quietly. Only her back can be seen.

This woman, like Li Fan, was also wearing a spotless white dress.

Li Fan walked forward quietly and stopped not far behind the woman without saying anything, as if he was afraid of disturbing her.

"I'm back." A calm voice came, like a voice from outer space. The woman stood up and revealed her slender figure.

She turned around, and Liu Ji's gaze froze there in an instant, and her heart seemed to be hit.

Liu Ji boasted of her extraordinary looks and felt that she could be considered a beauty among humans. She had also seen many beautiful women, such as Li Hongyi, whom she met in Lin'an County, who was also a rare beauty.

But the moment she saw this woman, she suddenly felt a sense of inferiority in her heart.

She didn't know what words to use to describe the beauty before her eyes. Any adjective seemed to pale in comparison. The woman before her seemed like she had walked out of a painting and didn't look like a human being.

"Immortal!" A word appeared involuntarily in Liu Ji's mind.

"Senior Sister." Li Fan called out. It had not been a few days since he came down the mountain, but it seemed like a long time.

The woman's eyes slowly turned and fell on Liu Ji.

The moment their eyes met, Liu Ji involuntarily avoided the woman's gaze. She didn't know why, but she avoided it subconsciously, and she was actually a little nervous inside.

"After going down the mountain, has your taste changed, little brother?" The woman's voice was as sweet as the sound of nature, which made people's hearts beat fast. Her eyes looked at Li Fan with interest.

Liu Ji felt a little emotional. Such a beauty, and such a voice, God was really fair.

"Sister..." Li Fan was about to explain, but the woman continued, "If you like, you can be my concubine. Those people down there, not to mention the kings and generals, even the people from the aristocratic families, all have three wives and four concubines. A demon is not bad, as long as you like her, but you can't have her as your main wife."

"As for the queen, you have to see me and get my approval before you can do that. What do you think, Junior Brother?"

Li Fan looked at the woman in astonishment and said, "Of course, Senior Sister needs to agree."

"Did you meet a suitable person this time when you went down the mountain?" The woman looked at Li Fan with a smile: "If there is a suitable candidate, would you like to bring him to me for me to see?"

Li Fan hesitated to speak and glanced secretly at the woman.

The woman looked at Li Fan with a smile in her eyes, and when she noticed his gaze, her smile gradually became interesting.

"Why, you have thoughts about me?"

"Senior Sister, I..." The young man's heartbeat quickened as if his secrets were touched upon.

Seeing the boy's expression, the woman's smile became even brighter and she said, "It's not impossible."

"Ah..." Li Fan blinked.

Seeing the boy's expression, the woman smiled sweetly: "That depends on your ability."

Liu Ji listened quietly to the conversation between the two. Seeing the bright smile on the woman's face, a thought emerged in her mind: what a pity for that girl in red.

If she were a man, she would probably fall in love with him at first sight.
